Honestly, I would like to be able to edit DBO files as well.
However, we should have clarified that DBO is a TGC internal file, not the same as an X file it is DirectX from Microsoft.
DBO file is focused to protect the media, and any tool focused to break that rule with the intention of spreading/sharing it should be talked with TGC, as DBO owner. imho.
DBO may come in handy for standalone if you want to protect third-party media in your game.

@UNIRD12B
There is not any tool to do so, at least not atm, not sure about TGC sharing a tool like that; What it should do is assure DBO is updating the changes you do via fpe file, about changes made in the entity itself, if it comes from GGMax stock you can change textures as for example and is here when I said GGMax should update the DBO when running GGMax and scanning the fpe files to reflect those changes in the DBO file. And if it is a custom mesh, then you should have the fbx and/or obj file.

yes I have both of those, although the editor is quite basic at the moment, but I can't release it, it's for my own use only. I do not use them for other engines only TGC products.

Yes the old dbo to x doesnt work with max. The new dbofastreader does but source code is not available. I have removed dbofastreader from autowelder tool and remote server as it's a closed format.

First of all I want you to be convinced of my respect for your valuable professional skills that you are sharing with this community.

Thank you for having taken that decision and I explain why with this screen capture :



Nevertheless in order to secure the protection of my GameGuru MAX's published projects I discovered that this tool "Vishnu Studio" ( https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/220726 ) generously offered by the member s4real (a GameGuru Master) is able to produce an encrypted version of a GameGuru MAX project.

I can release a DBO viewer no problem (either a straightforward dump out or a nice looking UI), if you mean you want to see the actual data inside the object, but I would limit it to some basic useful values. You won't be able to modify anything. Only I can do that in my editor prototype. If anyone else is interested, I would be interested to see what kind of info you would want to see that would aid you.

Chances are encryption will be working by the time Max is released

@UNIRD12B: no problem, I can send you a link to a cut down app which will dump out DBO content including skin weights, animation frames, transforms etc. I'll see if I can send that this morning

@UNIRD12B : I have PM'd you a link to the DBO Dump app, just simply drop a '.DBO' file onto the .EXE and it will pop up with message when the text files have been created, there will be 2. You can drop GG Classic/MAX and FPSC genuine DBO files. The app knows if it's genuine or not and if not will exit.
